Robert's ego clearly has prevented him from becoming the player he should become. I can see it though. You won a Heisman, had a team spend insane amount of picks to draft you, and you hit historic records in your rookie season. It's enough to make your head blow up, but he's soon finding out that nobody gives a fuck about 2012 anymore.

He was propped up in a gimmick offense (which I stated back then) and excelled in. The Shanny's knew that offense wasn't going to last when defenses caught up, and the hits started coming on Robert. The funny thing about it is, that Robert didn't want to run this type of offense long term. He wanted to known as a pocket passer and play maker. Unfortunately for him, he had 0 experience in a pro-style offense which has set him back a good 3-4 years.

The thing I suggested back then was to sit Robert down for a year or two, and let him learn the ropes. Nope. That idea had people rolling their eyes and pointed to the "success" at the latest fads at QB. (newton) Well, look at where we are now. We are at a crossroads, where most likely, Robert will be playing his last year with the Redskins in 2015 all because he was rushed into action long before he was ready. Impatient fans. Impatient owner. They deserve each other really.

He's already assisted with one coach losing his job, and I don't think he survives with Gruden at the helm. Besides, I think his hype (commercials/marketing/logo/etc) have all rubbed some in the locker room the wrong way in terms of him leading that team. Bottom line, if you are going to have that kind of hype, you better be able to back it up. It annoys me to no ends seeing all this marketing on a guy who hasn't done jack shit beyond a flash in the pan rookie year. This foot up the ass is exactly what this kid needs to truly humble him if he's ever going to succeed in this league.

If I were him, I'd cancel all my commercials and marketing gigs until I made it. People keep saying it doesn't play a part in it, but reality says different. He needs to decide if he wants bread crumbs on these small shoe/food deals or if he wants to hit it big with a 150 million contract along with the other types of deals in the wing. We'll see if he even gets that opportunity soon enough.
